What Friendship CS3216 is all about

CS2106, yet I’m the doing sysadmin tasks and setting up the operating system.

CS2105, yet I’m in charge of the server

CS2107, yet I’m in charge of security

This is absolutely terrifying and amazing at the same time.

It’s been a while since I’ve had so many ‘never had I ever’s in such a short period of time. Never have I created production quality Python or Django code. Never have I setup a server from a fresh installation of Ubuntu and configured nginx to be a reverse proxy for a web application

Another perspective. I’m taking CS2103 Software Engineering at the same time. In the first two weeks of CS2103, I’ve had to

Fixed a bug in the first tutorial’s code and pushed it to the lecturer’s repo

Compare that to CS3216 where we had

Completed ideation, provisioned a server, purchased a domain name and configured the server

Finished the mid-assignment report

Pushed code into the repo and deploy with Fabric

Started working on the working prototype for the idea

Sketch out and implement the database schema for the application

Work on the user stories and UX for the application

Oh, and did I mention we pivoted with 30 hours left before the mid-assignment submission, so I had to do the whole setup process all over again to get the site up and running before the mid-assignment submission?
